Cleveland Browns wide receiver Travis Benjamin (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the team's Week 14 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Benjamin did not participate in practice Wednesday before being upgraded to a limited participant Thursday and Friday. He wore a non-contact jersey in both, suggesting that he's on the wrong side of questionable.
Travis Benjamin injury update: WR questionable for Browns, fantasy owners
The Cleveland Browns’ wide receiver is listed as questionable for Week 14. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy impact: The Browns play in the 1 p.m. time slot so his official status will be released prior, giving owners plenty of time to make the appropriate roster move. Perhaps one of the least likely candidates, Benjamin has found a way to put together a breakout campaign in his fourth season amid Cleveland’s usual atmosphere of quarterback instability and generally sub-par football. Benjamin is on pace to finish the season with 68 receptions for 1,032 yards and six touchdowns. While four of his five touchdowns came in the first three weeks, the speedy receiver has shown that he can make plays. Benjamin shouldn’t have too much trouble with the 49ers, who allow the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. He’ll be a WR3 if active, but owners need to continue to monitor the situation.
